    Do I need a Sig P226?

    Betteridge's law* of headlines: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." *exception for gun forums: "Any headline that reads 'Do I need a ...' can be answered by the word yes."

    Any of you MEN buy a youth rifle for yourself?

    I am repeadtedly tempted by the CZ-452 Scout - short barrel, iron sights, quality build - but the 12 1/2 LOP stops me.

    CZ P-10C

    I bought one to just see how well I liked a CZ striker fired pistol. Turns out I it shoot very well and like the feel and weight. It is now in my carry rotation.

    Anyone know about or deal withTin Star Shooting Range ??

    I have bought two firearms from Tin Star, one before and one after the Toilet Paper Apocalypse. Service after was not as good - presumably because they were not prepared for the volume of sales. Would I buy again? Yes.

    Buddy wants a 22lr Pistol. Narrowed it down to. Suggestions please

    Bought the Victory as my first .22LR pistol after borrowing one. Still one of my favorites three years later.

    Thinking about a Bushnell Engage scope.

    Clear, sharp, bright images in this scope but the reticle is so fine I find it hard to use plinking on busy backgrounds. Targets are perfect.

    Looks like a SAR B6 (SAR69BL) to me too.

    Adult BB Gun?

    I have a hankering for a Benjamin 317 - because I could shoot bottle caps at 5 yards when I was 12.

    The “Perfect” .22 Rifle

    I have recently taken a shine to a T/C Classic 22 - most accurate rifle I own and perfect for now.

    New Arex Delta

    I really like mine and am considering another, the Delta Gen2 M, to get the optics cut.

    Should I buy a lever rifle?

    Shooting my lever action .22LR (Rossi Rio Bravo - wood stock) is as much fun as my semi-auto .22LR rifles. Before I bought I thought I'd like it - wrong, I really like it.

    Arex Rex Delta

    I like this pistol a lot. One of my faves and in my carry rotation. Are you looking at Gen 1 or Gen2? I'd pay that for a Gen 2 "M"; the Gen 1 should be about $50 cheaper (no optic cut, more angular grip, "Delta" in large letters on the grip).

    Target practice in National Forest

    I started shooting again specifically because there are NFS locations near my home in southern Arizona. I can make a day of plinking or target shooting with friends. If I was restricted to shooting at an organized range, my collection of firearms would be much smaller and I'd buy a hell of a lot...

    Pistol Sight Pusher

    I use the VISM/NcStar. It is easy to use and gets the job done. With attachments for squared and angled slides. Recommended.

    Anyone subscribe to Armslist

    Nope. Never connected and bought anything when it was free. Why pay for such exasperation?

    LGS price vs Online

    Ouch. My LGS charges $10 for an FFL transfer. The shop across the street charges $15 and the "expensive" guy charges $20. Buying new, I use a couple different of out-of-state dealers in order to avoid paying sales tax in addition to the lower online prices. My LGS considers me a good customer...

    Rock Island MAPP series

    Update: To be more precise, it is the Witness-P Carry (also known as the Force Carry). In reviewing the RIA site, you can see the photos of the MAPP are clearly marked "Tanfoglio".

    Rock Island MAPP series

    Actually, the RIA MAPP is made from Tanfoglio parts; it is the Witness-P. I have seen versions that still had "Tanfoglio" embossed on the grip. Compared to the Witness P, the MAPP is less expensive and the Sarsilmaz design is cheaper than both. I have always assumed the SAR design borrowed a lot...
